Terms of Service

Effective September 4, 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of Opening Day HQ, including our websites, team-management tools, league-management tools, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, accepting an invitation, creating or joining a team or league, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be legally able to enter into these Terms. If you use Opening Day HQ on behalf of a team, league, club, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to act for that organization and to provide the information you submit. Children under 13 should not create their own Opening Day HQ accounts. For youth teams, an adult parent, guardian, coach, manager, or authorized organization representative should manage the account and any information about minors.

2. Accounts and security

You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, safeguarding your credentials, and activity performed through your account. Do not share passwords or use another person’s account without permission. Tell us promptly if you believe an account has been compromised. We may require email verification, password resets, or other reasonable security steps.

3. Teams, leagues, roles, and administrator authority

Opening Day HQ supports separate team, league, and platform roles. Team owners and managers may control team membership and team data. Commissioners and authorized league staff may control league-owned information such as league seasons, divisions, schedules, standings, registrations, announcements, and league documents. A commissioner role does not automatically grant access to a participating team’s private roster, internal payments, private media, or other team-only information.

If you are an owner, manager, commissioner, administrator, scheduler, scorekeeper, or other privileged user, you are responsible for using that access only for legitimate organizational purposes and for complying with applicable laws, league rules, and permissions from the people whose information you manage.

4. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to violate law; harass, threaten, exploit, or impersonate others; upload malware; interfere with the Service; attempt unauthorized access; scrape or extract data at unreasonable scale; circumvent permissions or security controls; infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; or use another team’s or league’s private information without authorization. We may investigate suspected misuse and restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect users, the Service, or others.

5. Content and data you provide

You retain ownership of content you submit, such as team names, logos, rosters, schedules, statistics, documents, photographs, announcements, and other material (“User Content”). You grant Opening Day HQ a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, display, transmit, resize, and otherwise use User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and provide the Service.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit User Content, including permission to upload photographs, contact information, roster information, and information about minors when applicable. You are responsible for deciding what information your team or league makes public.

6. Sports information and statistics

Opening Day HQ is a management platform, not a sports governing body. Schedules, standings, statistics, eligibility information, scores, attendance, and other sports data may be entered by users or imported from third parties and can contain mistakes. Teams and leagues remain responsible for official records, eligibility determinations, rules, and competition decisions.

7. Third-party services

The Service may work with third-party providers for hosting, authentication, email, payments, analytics, file storage, or other functionality. Your use of a third-party service may also be subject to that provider’s terms and privacy practices. Opening Day HQ is not responsible for services controlled by third parties.

8. Paid plans, subscriptions, and fees

If paid plans are offered, the applicable checkout or order page will state the price, billing interval, renewal terms, included features, and cancellation terms. Those purchase terms become part of these Terms. Opening Day HQ will not charge a payment method unless a purchase is authorized. Taxes may be added where required. Except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase, fees already paid are not refundable.

9. Service changes and availability

We may add, change, or discontinue features; perform maintenance; impose reasonable limits; or update the Service over time. We aim to provide a reliable Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability. Features identified as beta, preview, experimental, or similar may change or be removed.

10. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. Team or league administrators may remove memberships they control, subject to ownership-transfer requirements. We may suspend or terminate access for material violations of these Terms, security risks, unlawful activity, nonpayment of applicable fees, or conduct that materially harms the Service or other users. Where practical, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to address the issue.

11. Opening Day HQ intellectual property

The Service, software, interfaces, designs, trademarks, logos, and other materials provided by Opening Day HQ—excluding User Content—are owned by Opening Day HQ or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership of the Service to you.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” Opening Day HQ disclaims warranties that are not expressly stated in these Terms, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Opening Day HQ will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from use of the Service. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, Opening Day HQ’s aggregate liability for claims arising from the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid Opening Day HQ for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or $100. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, if you use the Service on behalf of a team, league, club, or organization, you agree to defend and indemnify Opening Day HQ from third-party claims arising from your organization’s User Content, misuse of the Service, violation of these Terms, or violation of another person’s rights. This section does not apply to the extent a claim results from Opening Day HQ’s own unlawful conduct.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. If a change is material, we may provide notice through the Service or require users to accept the new version. The effective date at the top identifies the version currently published.

16. Disputes and applicable law

Before filing a formal claim, you and Opening Day HQ agree to make a reasonable effort to resolve the issue directly. These Terms are governed by applicable law without overriding any consumer protections or other rights that cannot legally be waived. A court with lawful jurisdiction over the parties may hear disputes that cannot be resolved informally.

17. Contact

Questions about these Terms may be submitted through the contact or support method published on OpeningDayHQ.com.

Privacy Policy

Effective September 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Opening Day HQ collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when people use our websites, team-management tools, league-management tools, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

1. Information we collect

Account information. We may collect your name, email address, authentication information, profile details, account preferences, and role or membership information.

Team and league information. Depending on how the Service is used, we may process team or league names, rosters, player profiles, positions, jersey numbers, contact information, schedules, RSVPs, attendance, scores, statistics, standings, registration status, fees, uniform information, announcements, documents, photographs, and other information submitted by users or authorized administrators.

Usage and device information. We may collect information needed to operate and secure the Service, such as login times, recent activity, browser or device information, IP-derived security information, error logs, and actions performed in administrative areas. Opening Day HQ may maintain audit records of meaningful changes such as schedule, roster, role, payment-status, stats-import, or administrative actions.

Communications and support. We may retain messages, support requests, feedback, and related communications you send to us.

Transaction information. If paid services are offered, we may receive billing status, plan, transaction identifiers, and limited payment-related information from our payment provider. Full payment-card numbers are generally handled by the payment processor rather than stored directly by Opening Day HQ.

2. How we use information

We use information to provide and personalize the Service; authenticate users; connect people to teams and leagues; process invitations; display schedules, rosters, stats, standings, payments, announcements, and other requested features; maintain security and audit logs; communicate service information; provide support; troubleshoot errors; prevent abuse; comply with law; and improve Opening Day HQ.

3. Team and league-controlled information

Much of the information in Opening Day HQ is submitted and managed by team owners, managers, commissioners, league administrators, or other authorized users. Those organizations determine what data they enter, who they invite, which members receive access, and what information they choose to make public. If you have a question about information maintained by a particular team or league, you may need to contact that organization’s administrator.

League access and team access are intentionally separate. Being a commissioner or league administrator does not by itself provide access to a participating team’s private roster, internal fees, private media, or other team-only data.

4. Youth sports and information about minors

Opening Day HQ may be used by youth sports organizations, but children under 13 should not create their own accounts. Parents, guardians, coaches, managers, and organizations that provide information about minors are responsible for having the authority and permissions required to do so. We encourage teams and leagues to collect only the information they actually need and to keep youth information private unless there is an appropriate reason and permission to share it.

If we learn that a child under 13 created an account or provided personal information directly without appropriate authorization, we may take steps to remove the account or information. A parent or guardian may contact us through the support method published on OpeningDayHQ.com with a request concerning a child’s information.

5. How information may be shared

We may share information with: (a) other users who are authorized to view it within the same team or league; (b) service providers that help us host, authenticate, send email, process payments, store files, analyze reliability, or operate the Service; (c) authorities or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce our terms, prevent fraud or abuse, or protect rights and safety; and (d) a successor or purchaser in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of business assets, subject to appropriate protections.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers. We do not give advertisers access to private team or league conversations or private account data.

6. Public sharing

Opening Day HQ is designed so team and league information can remain private by default, with specific public-sharing features enabled intentionally by authorized administrators. Information published through a public share page may be accessible without signing in and may be copied or indexed outside Opening Day HQ. Administrators should review information carefully before making it public.

7. Cookies, local storage, and similar technology

We may use browser storage, cookies, or similar technologies to maintain sessions, remember preferences, protect accounts, measure reliability, and support core product functionality. You can control some browser storage through your device or browser settings, but disabling required storage may prevent parts of the Service from working.

8. Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain legitimate business and security records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Team and league administrators may archive or remove certain records. Backups and audit records may persist for a limited period after primary records are deleted.

9. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including authenticated access, role-based permissions, tenant separation, and database access controls. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your choices and privacy rights

You may be able to update account or profile information directly in the Service. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or other treatment of personal information. Opening Day HQ includes a foundation for account/data export and deletion requests. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request, and some information may be retained where legally permitted or required.

11. Email and notifications

We may send transactional or service-related messages such as account verification, password reset, team or league invitations, schedule changes, RSVP reminders, payment-status notices, and important product or security communications. Where optional promotional communications are offered, you may opt out as provided in those messages.

12. Third-party services and links

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review them before providing information directly to those services.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Opening Day HQ changes. If an update materially changes how we handle personal information, we may provide notice in the Service or require acknowledgment of the new version. The effective date at the top identifies the version currently published.

14. Contact

Privacy questions or requests may be submitted through the contact or support method published on OpeningDayHQ.com.
